Beautifully put. Powerful to hold space for ourselves because we deserve to exist as we are.

Reminds me of being called “too sensitive”…by people who didn’t want to respect my boundaries 🙄

Jay, your "Reclamation" poem gave me goosebumps. I can imagine it being read as a meditation at the end of a yoga class or breathwork session, so that all of the participants can feel proud to go out into the world, ready to take up space.

Rey, I am so honoured and humbled that you received it this way. You are very welcome to use it in that intended way for your somatic practice and try out the effects and report back how your participants felt.

Thank you! That’s very generous. I’m hoping to lead some groups in the near future. If I share your poem, I’ll credit you and let you know how it goes!
